Corsa is good. I ran the ARH LTH, catless H pipe and the Sports. Sound was amazing, the Extremes will def be louder.

Good luck, either way it will sound great and like Bimini said, Gears are the best mod on these cars. I ran 3.73s and loved it!

I have LTs, off-road H and Corsa extremes - sounds really good and no drone at cruise. Love it.

I originally had Magnaflow's competition straight pipes and OMG that was horrible - sounded like a bleeting sheep at low RPM and horrendous drone.

I believe the Corsa muffler is the best, because there is no drone in the car and you can talk. Now with the LT Headers the noise is going to get louder over the stock manifolds regardless of who's mufflers you install, so I'd opt for the Corsa Sports to try to limit the level of noise as much as possible. Headers I'd do American Racing Header AHR 1 7/8" with an X-pipe and no Cats, I'd also add the mid-pipe in 3", but see if they'd sell it without the mufflers.

Short headers ( with some minor grinding/modification ) with the stock exhaust is a great “ bolt in/on” modification. Even better if you add high flow cats. sounds fantastic and you will get a decent power increase.

I'm not here to stir the ****in pot
Legit question
How much power do you think you gained from the shorty headers?

HP to $ ratio, Longtubes weren't my first order of business
I think the benefit of a good exhaust is lower boost amounts though

1) I dont know but the seat of the pants power gain ( and sound ) is very noticeable.
2) This set up passes smog inspections.
3) Much less expensive than long headers and after market exhaust.
4) High flow cats will also improve performance and are also a bolt on to the short headers ( ie, no fabrication ).
